Worship Week 4 ! Week 4 – The Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:17-34) Small Group Discussion Questions 1. What makes sharing a meal with people so powerful? 2. How is the Lord’s Supper significant to you? 3. What’s significant about the way in which the Lord’s Supper had become a regular Christian practice? (You might especially like to discuss the term ‘received’ in verse 23.) Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 4. What is significant about the way in which Jesus changes the meaning of the Passover? 5. How is the ‘Last Supper’ in many ways the ‘First Supper’? 6. Can you describe the significance of both the cup and the bread? What was Jesus’ ‘lot’? 7. How did the Passover (both the original and the annual celebrations) point to Jesus? (cf. John 1:29) 8. In what way does the Lord’s Supper anticipate the future supper when Jesus returns? (cf. Revelation 19:9) What do you think that will be like? 9. How does the Lord’s Supper proclaim the death of Jesus? 10. How does it proclaim a new covenant and kingdom? Does this give us a new purpose? Read 1 Corinthians 11:17-22,27-34 11. What are the key criticisms by Paul of the Corinthians and their approach to the ‘Lord’s Supper’? 12. How did the acts of humiliation, lack of generosity, and callousness demonstrate that they did not understand what the Lord’s Supper (or grace for the matter!) was all about? 13. What does it mean to really participate in the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of Jesus? How can we do this practically? 14. How might we use the Lord’s Supper as an opportunity for self-examination? More particularly, what are the implications for reflecting on our relationships with others? 15. How can we be considerate of others as we participate in the Lord’s Supper? 16. How can we better ready ourselves to participate in the Lord’s Supper each week? St Bart’s Anglican Church Talk 4/5 (How & Why We Worship): 03/05/15 “The Lord’s Supper” by the Rev’d Adam Lowe Bible Passage: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 INTRODUCTION \\ FOR WHAT I RECEIVED Over the last few weeks, in our series on how and why we worship, we’ve been considering each of the aspects of our worship services, in order that we can participate more fully by understanding each part: because worship drives our beliefs deep down into our hearts. • We gather for worship; We move into confession and assurance; We hear from God’s word, We gather around the Lord’s Table; and We are sent into the world. • Today, we come to week four - The Lord’s Supper. // • Paul at the beginning of this section in 1 Corinthians 11, says: For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you. (v.23) • And what Paul is saying, when he quotes those famous words of Jesus, is that this is a really important part of our lives as Christians. !2 • Paul is using the word received in a technical way, meaning that this important practice has been faithfully transmitted, down the generations and across different groups. // • Remember Paul didn’t have a copy of the Gospels, these words have been faithfully communicated and enacted. • The origin of this special meal - be it called the Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist (‘Holy Communion’) is not an invention by the church, but actually it has been received from Jesus Christ himself. That means, there’s an enormous weightiness to what we do. • The LAST SUPPER was the FIRST SUPPER. This is the Jesus Meal. • As Jesus points to his impending death on the cross, this is the meal that stands at the cross roads of the entire history of the world. // • And through it, we can see how everything is held together in Christ. // So three things as we consider The Lord’s Supper. 1. A Past Origin 2. A New Covenant 3. A Right Approach !3 PART A \\ A PAST ORIGIN (EXODUS 12) So first, a past origin. If we want to understand the Lord’s Supper, we have to understand the origin. This is a meal with a history! • The meal that Jesus shared with his friends, the Passover, was the meal that happened every year to celebrate the great act of liberation out of Egypt many centuries ago. • The Israelites were slaves in Egypt and the Pharaoh wouldn’t let them go. • So God sent the Angel of Death to Egypt in judgment so that justice could be done. • The only problem is that the Israelites wouldn’t survive judgment on their own, so God required them to celebrate a meal together, a lamb, and then put the blood of lamb on the door posts so that judgment would passover them. The first passover. • This is not just that the LORD ‘passed over’ them - it means because of the blood of the lamb, they would be spared from the LORD’s judgment. • We heard the very specific instructions for that original meal in the reading for Exodus 12… note that the instructions are from the LORD himself… !4 The animals you choose must be year- old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. (Exodus 12:5-7) • This was to become an annual festival celebrated - perpetual and unchanging. • And the month of the celebration would in fact become the beginning of the year, because their rescue was so defining of them as a people. // • So it was with great joy that Passover would have be celebrated each year, as a great freedom meal. • That because of the virtue of their ancestors’ liberation, they too had been liberated. • But the meal also pointed to a time when they would be fully rescued. • They knew that lambs at the first Passover didn’t take away sin, they pointed to a time when the sin and brokenness of the world would be finally dealt with. they pointed to a time when someone else would deal with this once and for all. That’s what the prophet Isaiah and many others recognised… We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6) !5 Their ancestors had been rescued, but they still awaited salvation. • This was a meal full of thanks but also full of anticipation. // • But it all changes the night when Jesus celebrates Passover with his friends. • There’s been some mysterious arrangements made, Jesus knows that someone is going to betray him, but the disciples seem none the wiser. • Jerusalem would have swelled with pilgrims, they would have been recounting the stories of the Exodus, it would have seemed like every other Passover that they had celebrated, but then Jesus CHANGES THE WORDS. !6 PART B \\ A NEW COVENANT (1 COR 11:23-26) Jesus takes this ancient meal, and he makes it about himself. He gives it new meaning. He says… • You’ve been waiting for freedom, I’m going to give you a freedom that lasts. • You've been waiting for life, I’m going to make it possible through my death. • This is the night a New Covenant, a new promise between God and the World, will be struck in my blood. 23…the Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. The disciples, whilst having moments of insight, still really didn’t get who Jesus was. They certainly didn’t anticipate his death! !7 • Yet when he takes the bread - he’s making it abundantly clear: this is my body, my body which will be broken, for you. • When he takes the cup - he’s making it abundantly clear: this is my blood, my blood which will be shed, for you. // • The greek word for cup not only means ‘cup’, but also means ‘lot’ or ‘fate’. • In Mark 10, James and John come to Jesus and say we want to sit at your right and left-hand in glory. In effect, we want your lot, your fate, to be ours. • Jesus says, you don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink… • Later that night, after the Passover, overwhelmed by the fate awaiting him, Jesus prays, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want. (Matthew 26:39) • When the authorities come to arrest Jesus and Peter draws his sword, Jesus says “Put your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?” (John 18:11) // • The purchase price for their freedom and our freedom is a cup, a fate so large, so heavy, so deep and broad, that only Jesus Christ could take it up.

  • Going Political – Multimodal Metaphor Framings on a Cover of the Sports Newspaper a Bola
    Going political – multimodal metaphor framings on a cover of the sports newspaper A Bola Maria Clotilde Almeida*1 Abstract This paper analyses a political-oriented multimodal metaphor on a cover of the sports newspaper A Bola, sequencing another study on multimodal metaphors deployed on the covers of the very same sports newspaper pertaining to the 2014 Football World Cup in Brazil (ALMEIDA/SOUsa, 2015) in the light of Forceville (2009, 2012). The fact that European politics is mapped onto football in multimodal metaphors on this sports newspaper cover draws on the interplay of conceptual metaphors, respectively in the visual mode and in the written mode. Furthermore, there is a relevant time-bound leitmotif which motivates the mapping of politics onto football in the sports newspaper A Bola, namely the upcoming football match between Portugal and Germany. In the multimodal framing of the story line under analysis. The visual mode apparently assumes preponderance, since a picture of Angela Merkel, a prominent leader of EU, is clearly overshadowed by a large picture of Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the Portuguese National Football team. However, the visual modality of Cristiano Ronaldo’s dominance over Angela Merkel is intertwined with the powerful metaphorical headline “Vamos expulsar a Alemanha do Euro” (“Let’s kick Germany out of the European Championship”), intended to boost the courage of the Portuguese national football team: “Go Portugal – you can win this time!”. Thus, differently from multimodal metaphors on other covers of the same newspaper, the visual modality in this case cannot be considered the dominant factor in multimodal meaning creation in this politically-oriented layout.

  • The Lord's Table
    THIS DO Practical Essays on the Lord’s Supper H. Van Dyke Parunak Copyright 1985, 1993, All Rights Reserved Preface Before his death, the Lord Jesus asked his people to remember him in a simple meal of bread and a cup. Almost every group that calls itself Christian observes some ceremony in fulfillment of this request. Yet these ceremonies often differ widely from the Lord’s Supper as the New Testament portrays it.These essays are for believers who would like to recover the practice of the first century church. Chapter 1 provides a basic description of the significance of the Lord’s Supper. The other essays focus on two basic practical principles about the Supper that modern Christians have mostly lost. • Chapters 2, 3, and 4 discuss the participants at the Supper: those who share in the Supper should know one another to be believers. • Chapters 5, 6, and 7 discuss the program at the Supper: more than one brother should lead the worship of the group. There is a third important guideline, concerning the frequency of the Supper. Believers in the first century meet weekly (Acts 20:7) or even daily (Acts 2:46) to remember the Lord. There is no biblical precedent for the longer periods of a month, three months, or even a year that some groups wait between observances of the Supper. It seems superfluous to devote separate chapters to this guideline, though. The practice of the early church seems clear, and there are no practical difficulties in the path of those who would like to follow this aspect of the New Testament pattern.

It is a family collection, formed by a father and son: Baron Anselm von Rothschild (1803–1874) of Frankfurt and Vienna, and Baron Ferdinand, who became a British citizen in 1860, and a Trustee of the British Museum in 1896. Named after Baron Ferdinand’s Renaissance-style château, Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, the Bequest is a 19th-century recreation of a princely Kunstkammer or ‘art chamber’ of the Renaissance. The collection demonstrates how, within two generations, the Rothschilds expanded from Frankfurt to become Europe’s leading banking dynasty.

  • There Is a History of the World and Then There Is David Lachapelle's
    Philip Bonneau PHOTO 501 JALBERT There is a history of the world and then there is David LaChapelle’s interpretation of it . Eminem: About to Blow, 1999 American Jesus: Archangel Michael Jackson, 2009 His works are often cited as hyper-real and slyly subversive. 1 He is known as a photographer and a director. As an artist and a photographer, but don’t ask him to differentiate between the two titles. They go hand in hand and he allows history to decide. 2 Cameron Diaz: Dollhouse Disaster, Home Invasion, 1997 Tupac Shakur for Details Magazine, April 1, 1996 “LaChapelle is without a doubt one of today’s most respected artists, whose style can be compared to no one. He has evolved his photography into an idiosyncratic and highly personal combination of reportage and surrealism.”3 Kayne West: Riot, 2006 Kayne West: The Cross I Bear, 2006 His work is considered “The highly polished, saturated and intricately composed photographs possess the surreal wildness of fever dreams, concocted as they are out of the imagery of celebrity, eroticism and modern Americana, and spiked with religious allegory and forebodings of doom.”5 He has been dubbed “The Fellini of Photography”. A title in honor of one of Italy’s most famous movie directors who “developed his own distinctive methods that superimposed dreamlike or hallucinatory imagery upon ordinary situations.”8 Helga LaChapelle, David LaChapelle He first began photography as a child where his mother often staged portraits for him to photograph with dogs that were not theirs and at homes they didn’t own.
